Kurkuri Bhindi

This bhindi recipe is one of the many reasons to fawn over it. Kurkuri Bhindi aka Indian Fried Okra is the holy grail of all bhindi recipes. It is super crispy and crunchy, which is why "kurkuri".

It so happened that one of the fellow home cooks on Instagram posted a picture of these mouthwatering, thin, crispy strips of bhindi last night. You can check out his version and mine here and here. A want arose and from there this post wrote itself. This is one of the recipes I had been wanting to post forever and seeing that picture then gave me the push I needed to go ahead and do it.

Think of this okra as potato chips. No matter how hard you try, you can't stop at one. I had a hard time keeping my paws off it as I was clicking pictures for the post. It was made all the more difficult that these looked so great on camera. I wonder if that's how photographers feel about models!

This recipe one of those recipes you should keep in your bag of handy, easy, quick recipes. You will be using it all the time as sides and snacks.
